Promotion Analytics

Promotions in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector are a critical lever for driving sales, yet many companies face significant challenges:

1. Inefficient Promotion Planning: Lack of integrated data sources results in fragmented planning, making it difficult to align promotions with consumer behavior, seasonality, and trends.
2. Unoptimized Promotion Effectiveness: Without clear insights into what drives success, companies struggle to measure promotional performance, leading to suboptimal spend allocation and inconsistent ROI.
3. Stock-out and Overstock Issues: Inaccurate demand forecasts tied to promotions often lead to stock-outs or overstocking, causing lost sales or excess inventory costs.
4. Lack of Real-Time Insights: Legacy systems and siloed data make it hard to get real-time visibility into ongoing promotions, hindering agility and course correction.
